The most important thing for me when painting is to make something that
is beautiful;
to try and show both the spectacular and the quiet beauty of
the natural and supernatural worlds.
When I paint, I love most
engaging in the dance between chaos and order
that generates a dual reality; the physical qualities of the paint and
canvas
and the window into another reality that the illusion allows.
Having attended a sculpture
course at Shute Farm Studios in Somerset a few years ago,
I feel inspired to focus more on carving in the future.
I enjoy the simplicity and elemental quality of shaping natural stone
and wood, from the
brutal and energetic reduction of material to the subtle refining of
form and surface.
